OF ducks and chickens, some thirty in
number.
"A rather unusual phenomenon WIS
visible last Saturday just before sunset
of long white column standing on
the sun. At the top of the column was

A number of our people have several
times laid plans for some sort Of social
entertainment this winter to pass away

SUR pR1SED AT 1.HE 'OLD MAN,
We see that Bro. Miller, of the Wor
thington ADVANCE, kindly took MOTTO.
"f what we said in regard to his poetry
last week and sent us a copy of his
"Consolation, p" the title of his volume
of poetry. AS yet we have only read
the principal p0em--ConsolatiOn-and
We are free to say that we are very
much surprised. In fact have not yet
got over it. The poem is beautiful. a
gem, ard an everlasting one. The only
thing We can say is, that our respect
and admiration for the man who han.
dies the qnill that guides the policy of
the ADVANCE, has reach ed the boiling
point. For the volume the old gentle
man has our sincere thanks. We
would advise our readers to send for Il
copy. It costs only 81 and is well
worth the money.-Luverne Times.
Bro. Buchanan will have it that the
editor of the ADVANCE is ''old." The
fact is, he is not quite SO, and you
must remember that Milton did not
write Paradise Lost till he was far past
the so mile-post. Cowper did not find
out that he could write poetry of any
account until after he was so. Nearly
all the really great works of the world
were produced after the authors were
past SO. There is still hope, therefore.
The volume to which the Times refers
is only the avant courier, the little BAL
loon sent up to ascertain the direction
Of the wind before the big ascension
occurs.
